Design of 2017 Mitsubishi Pajero
The design of the 2017 Mitsubishi Pajero maintains its classic rugged look with a large grille at the front and a tailgate mounted spare tyre, which is still present in the 2017 model of the SUV. The interior is very comfortable and spacious enough to accommodate seven passengers easily.
Exterior
The exterior is handsomely built and has high ground clearance that brings the same Pajero look, but in a very modern package. At the front of the 2017 Mitsubishi Pajero, one can still find the huge grille with chrome accents and Mitsubishi logo in the middle that gives the SUV its intimidating look.
Keeping up with tradition, the bumper can be found just below the grille with the brand name written across it in bold letters. With the same sweeping design, the Halogen headlamps and the LED Daytime running lamps flank the grille on either side.
At the rear of the 2017 Mitsubishi Pajero, one can also find the fog lamps and the spare tyre on the tailgate that adds utility and a touch of class to the overall traditional look of the SUV. The 17-inch wheels are standard on all trim levels and add to the off-road appeal of the SUV.
Interior
The interior of the 2017 Pajero is very inviting and comfortable, thanks to the generous use of high quality leather and soft materials. The seats are upholstered with soft leather, giving the interior a premium and luxurious feel with sleek chrome and glossed woodprint accented panelling. The overall feel is bold and compliments the aggressive exterior perfectly.
The interior is quite spacious and ergonomically designed so that the driver and the passengers have maximum head and leg room to be comfortable at all times. The seating arrangement is highly versatile and can be customised to accommodate any additional storage needs.
The third row seats can be stowed under the floor so that the 2017 Mitsubishi Pajero provides a flat surface to carry luggage. The third row seats can also be removed completely to utilise the underfloor compartment for enhanced storage space.
There is a beverage cooler built into the floor so that one can carry cold drinks while going for adventure trips in the UAE’s hot summer.
In the cockpit, one can find a 4-spoke, leather wrapped steering wheel with power steering function that can be adjusted by the driver. The interior also has a wide array of comfort and convenience features that include:
- 2nd-row seat heater ducts
